Learn how Wild Hop&Drop plays

A 6x6 grid of 36 cells carries an animal theme. Wins form in clusters: six or more identical symbols that connect horizontally or vertically pay, so six is the fewest symbols that pay. When several clusters win in the base game, all their wins are added, and each single cluster pays only its highest-paying tier. Symbols run from three frog colours and the WILD down to the A, K, Q and J.

4 BONUS symbols anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins (Hop & Drop) round with 6 free spins. A roaming WILD starts at 1x1 and moves to a random cell every spin. Every fourth BONUS in the round retriggers it with 1 to 3 extra spins and grows the WILD one stage. Scatter, Giant Symbol and Walking Wild complete the feature list.

Five steps, one round

Set your stake, then watch blocks form

After this you will know how a round runs, from bet size to the limit you set.

  1. Ceiling of A$240 per spin

    Pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$240 before the first spin. The bet sets every win in money, and this page uses A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$2 as examples.

  2. Count six touching matches

    Six or more identical symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a win. When blocks win together, their wins add up, but each block pays only its top tier.

  3. Know the list before you spin

    Cluster Pays drives the base game on the 6x6 grid, and the feature list also names Scatter, Giant Symbol, Walking Wild, Retrigger and Free Spins.

  4. When four BONUS symbols land

    Four or more BONUS symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins with 6 free spins. A roaming WILD starts at 1x1 and moves to a random cell each spin.

  5. Wild Hop&Drop, limit set first

    Set a session limit before the first spin and stop when you reach it. Need support? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop.

This block settles how free spins start, how the WILD grows and what a bought round costs.

When 4+ BONUS symbols land

4+ BONUS symbols anywhere on the grid start 6 free spins. A roaming WILD starts at 1x1 and moves to a random cell each spin. Every 4th BONUS collected retriggers for 1-3 free spins and grows the WILD, up to 6x6. A 6x6 retrigger adds exactly 1 free spin.

Session swings and the unseen ceiling

Four or more BONUS symbols anywhere on the 6x6 grid start the free spins, yet how often they land is not known in advance. One session can end with a big run or with nothing, and the RTP does not change that for a single session.

96.46 and 96.47 are the two RTP versions of Wild Hop&Drop, and only the game rules show which one a lobby runs. The gap between them is 0.01 percentage points, so check the game rules before you start and see which version your session uses.

x5,000 the bet is the maximum win of Wild Hop&Drop, which is A$10,000 at the A$2 example bet. It is a ceiling that comes up very rarely, so read it as a limit, not as a target.

Wild Hop&Drop is no reason to keep going

Players must be 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and the national self-exclusion register is BetStop.

Stopping point before the spin

Decide your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it even after a win. A big win does not change the budget you set.

Wild Hop&Drop account limits
